I Found Peace
Ironically, the "peace" you seek
I sought too
Only not in a dream
This is the reality I choose
Here, there are no "daiquiris"
Or "dancing"
No loveless romancing
No more chasing chances
Hoping that love enhances
In a heart that's bare
One that shows
No compassion, No care
And especially when it counts
Never being there
With words of love
I never hear
My peace has
No expectations of tomorrow
Waking with sorrows
Created by torturous choices
Ignorantly ignoring inner intuition,
Inner voices
My peace won't allow my heart to lead
While my mind grieves
Or let my body's desires
Make me weak
In the search for unattainable love I seek
In my reality I'm happy
I have found peace...
